Country & Printer Codes
The central bank that commissioned the printing of a banknote (but not necessarily the country of printing) is indicated by a letter or country code preceding the serial number, as shown here:

On the obverse, a small six-character printing code appears near the left centre. The first letter is the printer code which represents the location at which the banknote was printed.

The country- and printer codes are as follows:

 Banknotes issued for Luxembourg bear the country code of the country that printed the note.
